Starting with usb ports broken and others not working, spider Webs on the wall, drinking water was left open in fridge, bathroom toilet was nasty, the safe was not excessible to use it was locked, and the ice machine didn’t work on the second floor had to go to the fourth floor. Was given another room and only checked USB ports they was broken also so stayed in room I originally cleaned this was an horrible experience.
